Answer security questionnaires in hours — not weeks

Enterprise deals are gated on 180-question security questionnaires. Your team spends four weeks copy-pasting from Slack. ISO-STANDARD.app turns questionnaire response into a re-usable capability: answer once, back every field with live evidence, and deliver on the same call.

Questionnaires are where deals go to die

SIG, CAIQ, custom Excel, Google Form — the format varies, the questions don't. 80% of every questionnaire is the same core set: access management, encryption, backup, incident response, subprocessors, data location, privacy.

Teams that answer them well win the deal. Teams that treat every one as a fresh project lose Q3.

What's in the box

Answer library

Every answer you've ever written, keyed to the underlying capability — reusable across every future questionnaire.

AI-assisted prefill

New questionnaire imported? The platform suggests answers from your library and evidence — you review, don't retype.

Evidence-backed

Every answer links to the underlying control, policy or evidence artifact — auditors and buyers can trace the claim.

Version control

Rewriting an answer updates it everywhere it appears. Prior versions preserved for audit.

Export to any format

Excel, CSV, Word, PDF, or complete inline. SIG-lite, CAIQ, custom — no more retyping into the buyer's template.

Team workflow

Assign sections by owner (Security, Legal, HR, Ops). Chase-ups and sign-off in-app; no more Slack threads.

How buyers verify you — in minutes, not weeks

Speed matters. So does trust. Your buyer's Security team notices both.

  1. Step 1

    Import their questionnaire

    Paste, upload or connect — the platform recognises common formats and suggests matched answers.

  2. Step 2

    Review, don't retype

    Accept, edit or defer. Novel questions are the only ones that need real thought.

  3. Step 3

    Route for sign-off

    Assign Legal, Privacy or Ops sections; each owner sees only what they need.

  4. Step 4

    Deliver in the buyer's format

    Export to their template — no reformatting, no lost answers, no follow-up 'the CSV didn't import' emails.

The artifacts buyers actually ask for

Every artifact below is generated inside the workspace, versioned, timestamped and shareable via a signed link — no last-minute PDF assembly, no "wait, which version did I send them?"

Who it's for

Founder / CTO answering every questionnaire personally

Pain: You're the compliance single point of failure; every deal blocks on your calendar.

With ISO-STANDARD.app: A team-shared answer library — Legal, HR, Ops can own their sections without you.

Head of Security in a Series B/C

Pain: Same questions, different templates, every week.

With ISO-STANDARD.app: Prefill from your library, deliver in the buyer's format. Response effort down 80%.

Consultancy handling client questionnaires

Pain: You maintain a spreadsheet of answers per client — none of them stay current.

With ISO-STANDARD.app: A workspace per client, an answer library per engagement, updates propagate.

Deal-close moment
"Our first questionnaire took two weeks. The last one — 240 questions — was drafted in ninety minutes and cleared the deal in a single call."

Answers buyers, procurement and auditors want

Which formats do you support?+

SIG-Lite, SIG-Core, CAIQ v4, VSAQ, and custom Excel/CSV templates. If it's a rows-of-questions format, we ingest it.

Does the AI hallucinate answers?+

No — prefill is grounded in your answer library and evidence. If a field has no match, it's left blank for a human to answer.

Where do answers live?+

In the same workspace as your controls, policies and evidence. Change a control, and the answer library flags responses for review.

Can I share answers publicly?+

The reusable subset lives on your Trust Center; sensitive answers stay behind the workspace and NDA-gated links.

How does this help me sell?+

Speed. The deals you win are the ones where Security clears you first. First-draft response in hours means you're through the gate while competitors are still assigning owners.

Why this platform exists

Enterprise-grade governance — built for the SMEs and consultants enterprise GRC forgets.

I've spent 25 years in corporate governance — aligning technology, controls and compliance with what the business is actually trying to do. Time and again, the same pattern: the organisations that win new clients aren't the ones with the biggest GRC budget. They're the ones who can demonstrate trust on demand. This platform is the tool I wanted for the SMEs and consultants I've worked with — institutional-grade governance without an institutional price tag, built on the way audits and buyer reviews actually happen.
